Eggs

Today was the long awaited egg retrieval. It was a minor surgical procedure so all I have been doing since is sleeping. Everything went well and Dr. Blauer retrieved 6 eggs, which is what they were hoping for. Now we just get to wait until tomorrow to see how many of them fertilized and started growing. Keep us in your prayers. We need em!!!!!!

IVF & My Mom

Yesterday was a big day for me and Clint and our little family.... I started my meds for our first In Vitro Fertilization Cycle. For those of you who weren't aware that we were even trying to do in vitro I will give you the quick run down. We have been trying to have another baby pretty much since we had our precious little Ruby. Even though I would go month after month being depressed and feeling so alone I kept holding out hope that we were just another "normal couple" and that I would just one month be pregnant..... well that hasn't happened and I hit my breaking point. Poor Clint has had to deal with every type of emotion from me. He has been so great through everything, I really do feel so bad for him. Anyway..... yesterday was my appointment to find out whether or not we could move forward with the in vitro.... and we got the go ahead..... finally some good news. I really was expecting worse. Now every night I have to give myself 2 shots. Normally I would make Clint do it, but he is out of town. So i just figured that I would do it, I mean after all I want this so badly I would do anything. However, I couldn't do it!!!!!! Good thing I have my mom! She has done it for two nights now and will have to continue to do it or the next week or so. Aren't moms the best??????? Thanks mom. I love you

Ruffles

I love RUFFLES.... so you can only imagine how I feel about these shorts that I am dying to get for Ruby. Aren't they absolutely the most adorable things ever? I can picture them on her now.

Flowers

I was super busy this year on Valentines putting together a bunch of flower arrangements for the Alta Club. Ruby was my little helper. She doesn't make it any easier, but I love having her there with me. It was fun to see the arrangements turn out so amazing.

Orders

Clint finally received his orders today!!!!!!! We are excited to learn that we will be moving to Alabama on May 25, 2010. We will have a ton to do between now and then but we are so excited for this next adventure. While we are in Alabama, Clint will be learning how to fly helicopters. FUN!!!!!! The best part about it is that we will only be an hour and a half from the beach. I can't wait!!!!

Snow

Recently we had a very rare weekend where we weren't totally busy and had a chance to do something fun as a family. So we went snow shoeing. Ruby even got in on the action! She didn't last very long walking on her own, so it was good we brought the back pack. It was fun to be together and doing something we enjoy. Even though it was fun, I am ready for spring to be here. I want warm weather and sunny skies... I hope it comes soon... and stays.

California!!!!

This year for Clint's Spring Break we took Ruby to Disneyland. It was so much fun to see her there. She loved every minute of it....Well except for the times we took her on rides like Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and The Haunted Mansion. She was a real trooper and actuallly after the fact she loved all the rides. It was a perfect time of the year to go there were no lines at all. The longest wait was 20 min and that was for Peter Pan. We walked right on to Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion and Pirates. It was so much fun.

After a few long days at Disneyland we needed to relax, so we spent 3 days in Plam Springs. We just hung at the pool all day. It was a dream.




We also made it to the beach one day. It was not super warm, but Ruby had fun.

New Chamberlain Pictures

Once again our family picture turned out great, Thanks to Carlan of course. It is quite the task with this big of a group. Of course Ruby was grumpy and wouldn't let go of her toy piggy that her cousin Eden gave her. What a Joy

Jackson Hole Continued

This is a big family picture from Jackson. This was when everyone was there at once. It was pretty crazy around the resort, but fun being with the entire group. Ruby thought it was summertime and just wore her swimming suit around the entire day.

On a day that Doug felt good enough to get out we went to a wildlife museum and drove around to see if we could find some animals. We spotted a big herd of Buffalo. It was pretty cool.

Jackson Hole

We are having a great time in Jackson Hole with all of The Chamberlain Family. Ruby loves being with her cousins 24/7. we have been Hot Tubbbing

Wathcing Movies and just having fun with everyone.
